Join us for the Mainebiz Women to Watch reception!

Mainebiz launched our Women to Watch award recognition program as a way to bring attention to top-notch women executives, women whose daily work strengthens their organizations and by extension, Maine's economy. Now, after 10 years, Mainebiz has honored 46 women, including this year's newest honorees.

About The Reception

The reception will honor the 2019 Women to Watch and recognize all the Women to Watch alumni. In addition to presentations, attendees will enjoy hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar while networking with business executives and honorees.

There have been substantial changes to Maine's energy policy in the last year. Clean energy supporters are celebrating the passage of two landmark bills related to renewable energy and distributed energy resources. However, many other changes to state energy policy – that have attracted less attention – may be just as significant.

This forum is your chance to learn what changes to Maine's energy policy occurred as a result of the last legislative session, what drove the changes, the possible effects on Maine's place in New England energy markets, and what the future holds, in an interactive and engaging format. Register today for what is sure to be a full house, and a phenomenal networking opportunity!

Join us at our fifth stop in the 2019 On the Road with Mainebiz event series in Brunswick! We will host our reception at The Brunswick Hotel & Tavern as we showcase the greater Bath/Brunswick community and network with the greater Brunswick business community!

Attendance is free but space is limited so please be sure to register ahead.

Enjoy hors-d'oeuvres, one free drink, and a cash bar while networking with business executives in the area. Be sure to bring business cards to hand out to new connections that you make.

About the On the Road Reception Series

Throughout the year Mainebiz makes six stops from Fort Kent to Kittery during our On the Road reception series. These events are a great way learn more about the region, create opportunities for business leaders to do business, showcase a city/town, and create a venue to meet and mingle with other members of the local business community.

"Due to incoming heavy rain and potential thunder storms, we have postponed tonight’s South Portland solar tour and beer pour. We were very much looking forward to the event, but an open field full of electricity generation is not where you want to be during a thunderstorm.

We have rescheduled the event to Thursday, September 26 at 6:00 p.m. We hope you can join us"

Did you know that South Portland is home to Maine's largest municipal solar array? Located on the cities closed landfill, the solar 2,944-panel array produces about one megawatt of electricity annually, roughly 12% of the electricity used by South Portland’s municipal and school buildings. Cool!

Please join NRCM Rising, ReVision Energy, and the South Portland Sustainability Office for a tour of this impressive solar array from 6:00 - 7:00 p.m. During the tour you'll learn about exciting progress made on solar energy development in the Maine Legislature earlier this year. After the tour we will head to Foulmouthed Brewing in South Portland for a pint or two from 7:00 -8:00 p.m. Your first beer is on us. Please join us for a solar tour and beer pour!

Parking is available next to the solar array in the South Portland Public Works parking lot.
